Overarching Objective Contribute to the sustainable management of aquatic living resources through increasingly realistic modeling of the associated socio-ecological systems
Illustrative Targets Accounting for stock structure and life-history complexity, Fisheries-induced evolution, Socio-economic repercussions

3. Theme 2: Biodiversity
Overarching Objective Better understand the complex dynamics of biodiversity formation, maintenance, and loss across a broad range of ecosystems
Illustrative Targets Drivers and pathways of speciation, Evolutionary vegetation dynamics, Evolutionary community assembly, Disease dynamics

4. Theme 3: Governance

Illustrative Targets Reputation-based cooperation, Design of sanctioning systems, Institutional emergence

5. Theme 4: Systemic Risk
Overarching Objective Develop new approaches to measure, model, and manage systemic risk across different domains
